Nice meeting space. I have never worshipped there though

This is an incredible congregation. I may be a bit biased since I was a co-founder and its first President. Unfortunately, almost 30 years ago, I moved out of New York and while I am still a member, I do not frequently participate and am more active in my local congregation. 

Most Jews have never heard of Reconstructionism, although many non-Orthodox Jews share the values it espouses.  If you are looking for a warm, caring, intellectually curious and meaningful Jewish experience I think you should visit WES and see if it can meet your spiritual needs. I only wish they would open a satellite branch in Northern Westchester.

A welcoming Reconstructionist congregation. Even as an outsider, I felt welcome and safe in this community and enjoyed my time.

With the gradual fading of the Upper West side qualities, it is wonderful to find a community that holds those qualities dear. Intellectually stimulating, artistic, diverse ( yes even a synagogue can be) and intergenerational, West End Synagogue is an outpost of traditional Progressive thinking congregants who value the core concepts of American Judaism. I joined for my kids but stayed for the deep friendships and community engagement.

This synagogue as in the space of a former New York Public Library. Rabbi and Cantor are very very good. Unfortunately it does not have very good or no good handicap access. I was kind of surprised. The synagogue should do something about that.

Warm welcoming community. Amazing Rabbi. I adore this intimate synagogue occupies an old library, and remains a library for it's members. The shabbat lunch after services provided an opportunity to get to know people in a relaxed setting.

Such a wonderful and welcoming community! Accessible, uplifting and meaningful services. I've been to WES for Shabbat many times and always leave inspired!

Until my 60s, I never went into synagogues except for weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs and the High Holidays. Nothing about the services, the rhetoric, the participants attracted me, that is, until, at my wife's urging, I went to West End Synagogue. In brief, the fierce intellectual independence of the members, encouraged by the clergy, united by a desire to know more about their past and their present, has become addictive. It's not a place to stand pat, to ignore others, to abandon hope or curiosity.
